the projects were proposed. Other jobs threatened by the shortage include: $5 million as part of the $20 million cost of the interchange of 1-95 and Rte. 128 in Peabody. The balance would come from interstate highway funds. $17 million as part of the $60 million cost of making major bridge deck repairs and new breakdown lanes in the Southeast Expressway.

The balance would come from interstate funds, because the Southeast is now officially designated 1-93. for Dining Excellence $25 million for major bridge deck work on the McClellan Highway in East Boston.

The joint DPW-MBTA improvement of Huntington avenue between Prudential Center and Brigham Circle, though under a separate Federal urban funding category, was cited as an example. The original Huntington cost estimate was $2 million. Now it is nearly $20 million. Items added included a pedestrian overpass opposite Northeastern University, replacement of a number of trees, new street lighting and numerous other aesthetic improvements. Construction costs have gone up 118 percent since 1967, when some of US coffin imported for tribal funeral Agence France-Presse WINDHOEK, Namibia-Chief Filemon Elifas, the Ovambo tribal leader assassinated last weekend, will be buried in a $1620 coffin specially imported from the United States.

An official announcement said the chief, leader of the largest tribe in Namibia (South-West Africa), will be given a state funeral Saturday at the northern town of ByA.S.Plotkin Globe Staff More than a dozen high-priority highway projects, mostly in eastern Massachusetts, will probably have to be postponed for at least a decade because of an acute shortage cf money, Public Works Comr. John Carroll has disclosed. Their estimated total cost is $146 million. They include a $28.8 million Peabody-Salem highway connector and a $13.3 million Beverly-Salem bridge replacement. Also affected are a $15 million job in Natick at Rte.

9 and Speen street and the DPW's $10 million share of the Rte. 3 improvements for the MBTA's transit station in Braintree. All the jobs would have been under way in the next five 'years. On some of environmental impact statements are nearly complete and public hearings have been scheduled. -The Natick project is in final engineering design and would have been ready for bid advertising in about 18 months.

The threatened projects are under the "Urban Extension" category for major roads to link city areas with suburbs. The program provides 70 percent Federal and 30 percent state shares. For the next five years, $33.5 million in Federal urban extension funds and $14.3 million in state money have already been allocated for a number of other highway projects. It may be possible in some instances to switch money from other highway categories, but Carroll said these possibilities are limited. "It would be like robbing Peter to pay Paul," he said.

Another possibility, but considered remote, is that Congress vote more Urban Extension money. DPW sources said there are at least two reasons why the funding situation has developed: The cost of some projects grew enormously Could you us extra cash for flisyeaiJs vacation?
